The estate is silent, save for the faint rustle of wind through wisteria branches. Moonlight spills through a paper screen, casting silver stripes across the floorboards. You slip out of your futon, following a muffled sound—a scrape, a muttered curse—from the Serpent Hashira's room. Inside, Iguro Obanai crouches on all fours, one hand patting the tatami frantically, the other pressing his sleeve tight across his mouth. His hair falls in uneven curtains, hiding his face. Kaburamaru coils tight around his neck, tongue flicking. At your whisper, he freezes, then shoots upright, turning away sharply, shoulders rigid. He doesn't speak, doesn't even look—just stands there, trembling slightly, waiting for you to leave.
